Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 361: The CEO Of Ford Group

After the queen and Caryn had finished their dinner and returned to the drawing room, as Caryn would leave soon, someone arrived there.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Howard is here and seeking to meet you," the assistant informed.

The queen looked at her daughter, who replied, "This is your residence and your decision."

As Caryn didn’t show any aversion to meeting Howard, the queen permitted them.

Soon, Howard entered the drawing room with Charlotte tagging along behind him.

Howard looked at the masked woman. "Ah, so is it really our little princess, Carmen?" He looked all happy and cheerful, then turned to his sister. "I am so happy we got our Carmen back."

Caryn didn’t react at all. Even with the mask on, she could show her coldness toward people.

The queen hummed while offering him a smile. "Why don’t you two take a seat first?"

Howard and Charlotte sat on the sofa.

So this is that so-called lost princess? Charlotte scrutinized Caryn while keeping her fake polite and sweet expressions. Gray hair, weak, and stuck in a wheelchair? What can this woman do? I’m not sure why Grandpa is so wary of her. She’s not even worth talking about, let alone calling her a princess. If not for Grandpa, I wouldn’t even come here and waste my time with such an ugly and weak woman.

Caryn met Charlotte’s gaze, making the girl feel as if this woman had just heard her thoughts loud and clear. That gaze clearly intimidated Charlotte, and she sank back on the sofa, making sure not to look at Caryn again.

"The moment I got to know our princess is back, I hurried here," Howard said to the queen, then turned to Caryn. "I am so happy to be able to see you again."

Caryn met his gaze. "I can’t say the same. Also, I don’t have any fond memories with you for you to show such affection to me. You can keep it for your granddaughter, who might need it more soon."

Howard laughed it off. "Though you are grown up and old enough now, you will still be that little princess for him — the one I doted on a lot."

"I can’t doubt that," Caryn commented. "Your way of doting was really unique. I believe it was what brought me to this day."

Howard didn’t expect her to be so blatant about things and not hold back anymore.

"Forget about the past. Now, tell me, how have you been?" Howard asked.

"I believe you know it well already," Caryn replied, almost making him bite his tongue due to her frustrating answers.

Helpless, he turned to the queen, who didn’t meddle in at all. He said, "Seems like our princess needs time to adjust here, as she is back after so long."

The queen simply hummed and said, "This — everything — belongs to her, so it won’t take long for her to get familiar with everything. I am sure she will be a better princess and queen than me."

"True," Howard said and turned to Caryn. "This is my granddaughter, Charlotte."
